Can you believe it? It's almost time for the indoor championships!
Duffman sez "Oh YEAH!"

I will be there both Saturday and Sunday on the infield acting as a
spotter for the media. I'll have me a cool lookin' walkie talkie and
a seat right on the runway. Unfortunately they're requiring me to
wear pants. The only two times in the last 5 years (since my bddy's
wedding) that I've eschewed my treasured short for pants has been
due to the USATF meet and their stringent dress code. Ah well. For
that seat I'd have worn a tuxedo...

Some club kids of ours will be filming the event in it's entirety -
hopefully that will be part of a proposed DVD. I'm still working on
last year's that has the Boston Indoor Games, the Reno Summit, the
National Scholastic Champs, the USATF Indoors, the Gettysburg Marina
Vault, the Gettysburg Vault Show, the Holy Cross Pole Vault Academy
and all sorts of other goodies. Kind of a VaultnGus travelogue.
Could be kinda cool - nowhere near as technically proficient as
Neovault's "Come On" (Still available at http://www.neovault.com/)
but hopefully just as entertaining.

But I digress...

Looks like all the top collegians had to stay home. There was a trio
of ladies that qualified - Chelsea Johnson of UCLA and two Nebraska
Cornhuskers - Jenny Green & Jessica Graff. Chelsea is actually
ranked #3 on the US list at 4.47 14'08.00" as of now.

The championship schedule is a bit different this year. Normally the
USATF meet is one week before the World Indoor Championships but
this year it's two. This caused conflicts with the Big 12
Championships (knocking out Jenny and Jessica) and the Mountain
Pacific Championships (taking Chelsea away). Oh well...

Post-grad April Steiner also declined to make the trip despite
having cleared 4.35 14'03.25" two weeks ago in Flagstaff. Andrea
Dutoit (4.19m 13'09.00") also couldn't make it.

Niki McEwen's declaration status is still listed as open as of this
afternoon.

Ebbie Metzinger has declared but her entry has been denied as of now.
Last year at outdoors they ended up taking all the folks listed as
"not qualified" so we'll wait and see...

It's weird not seeing Mel Mueller's name amongst the starters. She's
been a part of this gig since nearly the beginning. Looks like she's
got bigger fish to fry (or in this case babes to incubate). Check

VaultnGus sez :

Once again Stacy has been the dominant vaulter on the US circuit
going 6 for 6 and sweeping the indoor Golden Spike tour. This year
though she does not go in as the world #1 - she is number three on
the list having lost her world record first to Yelena Isinbayeva
and then just this past weekend to Svetlana Feofanova. That and the
fact that the WR is a scant 3cm from the 16 foot barrier should
inspire her to great heights this weekend in Beantown. We'll see if
the move to Arizona and to bigger sticks comes to fruition.

VaultnGus sez :

Kellie's jumped superbly in the comfy confines of her Jonesboro
training center crashign the 15-foot club twice this winter. The
rest of her season has been... okay. Decent just not spectacular.
However she has been one of our top performers at national
championships the past 8 years. That world or Olympic medal still
eludes her though. Look for her to make the trip to Budapest...

Jillian has put up a pair of swell marks this year - 4.48 14'08.25
in Jonesboro and an all-time PR 4.50 14'09.00 two weeks ago in
Fayetteville. Hold on - what exactly IS going on in Arkansas? All
these huge jumps. Not too shabby eh? Anyway the former Dukester has
put herself in a good position to get a shot at the world championship
squad. She'll probably need a PR to do it though 'cuz the competition
is real tough this year...

VaultnGus sez :

Lindsay has been this year's "out-of-nowhere" cinderella story. She
was a former All-American in the Heptathlon for Brown University who
moved to Pocatello last year to train with Stacy Dragila's mentor
Dave Nielsen. The results have been nothing short of amazing. She
put up a 4.00 13'01.50 mark last summer and then blew through the 14
foot barrier at the end of January. She added to her PR yet again at
the elite section of the Simplot Game this past weekend with a
clearance of 4.35 14'03.25. Not bad for a year's work. She's
definitely primed for a major upset...

VaultnGus sez :

Alicia still hasn't put up that big mark we all know she's capable
of. She was talking WR a few years back when it was hovering near
the 15 foot barrier. She has qualified for a worlds team before
(2001 outdoor) and was close to maing the 2000 Olympic squad.

VaultnGus sez :

Alright! Shannon finally cracked the 14-foot barrier this past
weekend in Jonesboro. It's been a long time coming. She'll need
to do it again in a big way though if she wants to see the sights
that historic Budapest has to offer for FREE courtesy of USATF...

VaultnGus sez :

Erica also just joined the 14-foot club when she cleared exactly
that height last weekend in Norman, OK. The rest of her season
has been solid. She'll need a few more 14'+ performances under
her belt to get the recognition she deserves. This will definitely
be a cool experience for her.

VaultnGus sez :

The former Oregon Duck has a couple of medal stands in her past
at the NCAA's but the USATF hasn't been nearly as kind. Her best
performance was last year's 11th place at the outdoor champs. This
year she's been stuck in the mid 13's and it's gonna take a lot
higher than that to go to Budapest.
